Patent CA-2328026-C (CA)
Title: Optical disc and optical disc apparatus for identifying synchronization patterns thereof
Inventor: KAWASHIMA TETSUJI
IPC: G11B7/007
Filed: 2000-12-08
Granted: 2007-11-20
Abstract: The objective of the present invention is to facilitate to identify whether or not the optical disc is a optical disc of which recording capacity is enlarged. A synchronization pattern of ATIP information embedded into guide grooves irradiated with a light spot is made to be different between a high density optical disc and a standard density optical disc of which recording capacity is not enlarged. Specifically, while the synchronization pattern of the standard density optical disc is made into "3T+1T+1T+3T" (where "T" represents a minimum channel bit of a signal obtained by reading a positional information), the synchronization pattern of the high density optical disc is made into "3T+3T+1T+1T" for example. By reading the ATIP  information and recognizing the synchronization pattern thereof, it can be easily and quickly identified whether the optical disc has a standard density or a high density.

Title: Multijunction photovoltaic cell with thin 1st (top) subcell and thick 2nd subcell of same or similar semiconductor material
Inventor: KING RICHARD R
IPC: H01L31/0687
Filed: 2001-03-14
Granted: 2004-02-17
Abstract: A multifunction photovoltaic cell (10) comprises a first subcell (11 ) that initially receives incident light upon the photovoltaic cell (10), with the first subcell (11 ) being made of a first material system, having a first thickness, and producing a first photogenerated current output. A second subcell (12) receives the incident light after the first subcell (11) receives the incident light, with the second subcell (12) being disposed immediately adjacent the first subcell (11). The second subcell (12) is made of the first material system or a similar semiconductor material, has a second thickness that is greater than the first thickness, and produces a second photogenerated current output that is substantially equal in amount to the first photogenerated current output. A tunnel junction (16) is disposed between the first and second subcells (11, 12). The multifunction cell (10) provides a greater ability to current match to low- current-producing subcells, higher multifunction cell voltage, lower series resistance, and greater radiation resistance.

Title: Methods and systems for treating breast tissue
Inventor: KEN CHRIS
IPC: A61B18/02
Filed: 1999-09-17
Granted: 2007-05-01
Abstract: Methods, systems, and kits for treating breast tissue rely on transferring energy to or from cells lining an individual breast duct. Energy can be introduced into the breast duct, e.g., by filling the duct with an electrically conductive medium and applying radio frequency energy to the medium. Other energy forms could also be used, such as light, ultrasound, radiation, microwave energy, heat, cold, direct current, and the like.

Abstract: An end user / station can dynamically control the service levels to/from a second user / station (i.e., locally or remotely controlling service levels). The service levels being provided over packet based networks (which may include Internet Protocol (IP) networks). Dynamic control may be provided for either or both of the service level (e.g., priority of transmission, class or type of service, bandwidth, etc.) and allocation of the costs associated with the service levels provided to users of the embodiments. In some embodiments, users, subscribing to a level of service (e.g., a set bandwidth and/or type of service) can request and obtain a different (e.g., better or worse) level of service (e.g., higher bandwidth access, higher priority of transmissions, etc.) for each call or session between the user and a called station over the packet network. Moreover, the level of service provided for the upstream direction (i.e., transmissions from the user) can be different from the level of service provided for the downstream direction (i.e., transmissions to the user). Further, the settlement procedures for the costs of these services can be allocated to the user, to the station called by the user, or a third station.

Title: Auxiliary door lock
Inventor: VEILLETTE PIERRE
IPC: E05B1/00
Filed: 2002-02-01
Granted: 2009-11-24
Abstract: An auxiliary door lock for a dead bolt lock includes a relatively flat rectangular housing for mounting on a door over the interior operating knob of the dead bolt lock; and an actuator slidable and rotatable in an opening in a front wall of the housing. The actuator includes a hollow handle, which is used to rotate the knob. Teeth on the actuator mesh with teeth in the housing in one position of the actuator so that the latter and the knob cannot be rotated when the door is locked. Thus, even using a key, someone outside of the door cannot unlock the dead bolt lock. By pushing the actuator into the housing to a second position, the teeth are disengaged and the actuator can be rotated to unlock the dead bolt lock.
Patent CA-2371415-C (CA)
Title: Fast attenuator
Inventor: MALA MOHIUDDIN
IPC: G02B26/02
Filed: 2002-02-11
Granted: 2006-08-15
Abstract: The invention provides a fast variable optical attenuator including a reflective membrane that serves as a varifocal mirror. Electrostatic deflection of the mirror defocuses the optical system and attenuates an optical signal launched to the mirror from an input port to an output port. Since the mirror is generally limited to deflections less than 1 micron, fast attenuation within a small ( < 5 dB) dynamic range is achieved. The dynamic range is improved by combining the fast attenuator with a slower attenuator. In the preferred embodiment, the slow and fast attenuator are not coupled via optical waveguides, but rather are optically coupled via free space or are integrated in the same device. Advantageously; this compact arrangement reduces the excess loss associated with optical fibre coupling and lowers packaging costs.
